10.5's hell ya!!

My goal is to just get a 10.9 pass... my weight is gonna kill me though, I bet it weights 3700#, lol.

500hp 3700#, if i hook off my transbrake is it possible to make a 10.9 pass?

Next year will be my first time at a track... so get ready to laugh at my 12 sec timeslip!!!

So what am i doing wrong? Is there a secret i dont know about or what???? LMAO
I have a few toys but i started gathering them young. First Camaro at 17, 2nd at 19, and then the T/A this year. Just gotta look around for good deals and work a lot (40+ hrs, holidays, incentive bonuses) and build it all slowly :/ and do it all yourself (huge money saver lol).

I was wanting to do more myself this year to my Z but the money kinda just isn't there to get more of it done like I had wanted for next spring. Maybe I'll get lucky but economy isn't helping these days. So instead of doing bigger rockers, procharger, some interior work, and slicks I'll have to pick and choose (with the procharger most likely being left out.. ) Moneys just tight all around for a large majority of people these days.


& yes Kearney is a full 1/4 mile. Track is kinda iffy with the drive over gravel to get to it (wth was with that thought? Pave that thing already! lol) I'm trying to push for one closer to NP cause I'm halfway between the one in Kearney & one around Julesburg Co(its still open right?). Just never gets far because the county commissioners always give the big NO. They'd rather keep supporting a failing dirt track instead.

I was being sarcastic, but there is a track south of omaha (1/8th mile). There is one in Kansas City and one in Sioux Falls, I believe.

For sure. I can say with 110% guarantee that I will be at Cruise Night next year. Might even be up North in your area a time or two depending on when my friend that lives up there gets back in country.
